Jesse Zeman, Executive Director for the BC Wildlife Federation joins Mark and Curtis to provide the Federation’s analysis of the new draft grizzly bear management plan for British Columbia. Jesse talks about whether there is dedicated funding for grizzly bear science and population monitoring, how many grizzly bear experts there are in the province now, grizzly bear management objectives and accountability of government for grizzly bear management. Other topics covered include how much money BC spends on taking care of wildlife and habitat, how many grizzly bear scientists there are in Montana compared to BC, who and what is killing grizzly bears now that hunting is banned, how much money hunters still commit to grizzly conservation, where hunters can go to comment on the draft management plan and the need for a pro-hunting voice on the future of grizzly bear management in BC.
